ANNOUNCEMENTS
🌟 Was Apple Glowtime what we expected?
Our Report: Along with updates to the Apple Watch, AirPods, Voice Memos (now come with background music!), and camera controls, and the announcement that iOS 18 and a new macOS Sequoia are both launching in 6 days, Apple’s AI model (Apple Intelligence) took center stage at Apple’s keynote ‘Glowtime’ event, where it launched the new iPhone 16 range, with built-in AI features.
🔑 Key Points:
According to Apple CEO, Tim Cook, “the iPhone 16 is designed for Apple Intelligence” as it comes with the A18 Pro chip, which powers Apple Intelligence (while making it 30% faster than the iPhone 15).
This means the iPhone 16 uses Apple Intelligence to summarize/surface emails, prioritize notifications, and deliver a Siri that understands incomprehensible requests and user activity and responds accurately.
Apple Intelligence will also power a new ‘visual search’ tool that allows users to get answers to their questions by taking photos (more on that below) which will be launched, in beta, in the US, this fall.
🤔 Why you should care: We reported yesterday that industry experts believed the staggered rollout of Apple Intelligence would likely impede a ‘supercycle’ of iPhone 16 customers, but after the event, experts are now unsure as “Apple’s focus on AI as a core part of its strategy, moving forward, is clear,” but what do you think?

VOICE
🗣️ Audible’s bold move: Voice clones?
Our Report: Amazon’s audiobook app, Audible, has invited a handful of US-based narrators to take part in a beta test, where they will train AI models on their voices, and use their voice clones to record new audiobooks, to speed up production.
🔑 Key Points:
Narrators can submit voice recordings to train their AI clone, use Amazon’s production tools to edit the pronunciation and pacing of their synthetic voice and review the final production for inaccuracies/errors.
Narrators will retain full control over which books are narrated using their AI voice, and Amazon has assured them it “will not use a narrator’s voice replica for any content without their approval.”
Amazon is launching this beta to explore ways to revitalize and energize more books on Audible and is committed to “thoughtfully balancing the interests of authors, narrators, publishers, and listeners.”
🤔 Why you should care: To reflect this stance, Amazon will compensate narrators, for the use of their AI voice, via a “Royalty Share” model, on a “title-by-title basis,” although there are implications that outside of this beta, there may be an upfront cost involved for narrators wishing to clone their voices.

SEARCH
🆕 Apple Visual Intelligence unveiled
During its iPhone 16 launch event, Apple announced a new Apple Intelligence-powered search tool—Visual Intelligence—that lets users “instantly learn about everything they see,” and will be available “later this year.”
To get the answer to a question, users can press/hold a new camera button (on the side of the iPhone 16), and point the device to whatever they’re curious about, and they will get the answer (like Google Lens).
Users could take a photo of a restaurant and automatically get its opening hours, a flyer and get the date, location, and time, or a bike they find in the street and get a Google search for the model.
